 Tire Balancing
I took my rim and new tire (ALTIMAX RT43, purchased from Walmart) to Walmart so they can mount it on but they are telling me they are not able to balance the new tire due to their machine won’t fit the rim. Not sure what to do now. Should I put tire balancing beads in it?

Centramatic Balancers! Clean, no mess and nothing to "re-install" if you get a flat or when you change tires next and they work beautifully!

Most tires these days are pretty close and don't really need it. In my shop I use the old fashioned static balance.

My tire installer put Liquid Balance in mine. They use it in pickup and truck tires.

You could put the axle through the wheel add put it between 2 jack stands. If it’s out of balance get some stick on weights.

I prefer no balance vs. an incorrect balance.

If you know anyone that has a bubble balancer. They work really well. My nephew uses one on most bike tires he mounts for people at his garage. Just lay the wheel on top and watch where the bubble is then add weight according to where it needs more or less weights added to center the bubble. Kinda works like a level that you would use to plum a wall or shelf.
